I'll bet most of those firearms he's toting are illegal in New York. The Buffalo News claims that No one needs that many weapons.... Andy you better keep an eye on this guy....

Wow, it didn’t take long for the negative people to speak up once again. For what it’s worth every thing I own is in full compliance with New York State law. I would have thought that would be common knowledge by now. Similar comments are made every time I do well in a match. I usually reply with the same rebuttal. Stop the negativity! The negative people have had the floor long enough. Let’s hear from the positive people....

Eugene, my comments were not directed at you, they were meant to show how stupid I feel some of our law makers are with their so called SAFE act. I grew up in a household of a competitive pistol shooter. I do apologize to you for using your moment to air my frustrations.
Congratulations Eugene job well done......

Thank you Dave Spaulding! I’m also frustrated by the UNSAFE act. We may not always agree but I think It’s important to keep a positive attitude, respect our neighbors and work together to make our City and State a great place for all of us to live.
